Marine

Any creature that lives and eats and plays in the ocean is included in this category. You’re likely to run into walruses, shells, whales, sea horses, rays, jelly fish or anything else that catches my imagination.

Whether the sculpture is detailed and realistic or stylized, extensive research is done in an attempt to include key features and make sure that erroneous physical details don’t sneak in. After all, who would want an octopus with ten legs or a shell whose spiral doesn’t at least approximate the progressive golden mean?

Each piece has its own little story to tell. Be sure to click on the additional pictures, where that story is told and come back often to see who’s new in the neighborhood.

Wood marine sculpture of Ollie the Octopus. Octopus can squeeze themselves through the smallest spaces and are very intelligent. Unfortunately, they’re also very curious and Ollie had the misfortune to get curious about a Wizard who lived not far from his home.

Picking it up soon reveals that it’s much heavier than any shell that size would be and it’s obvious that no little hermit crab or snail has ever used it as a residence. Handmade and polished smooth, it looks like a piece of jade, though it’s not. That’s okay, it will look pretty sitting in that bowl of gathered shells by the window.
